One of the world's most legendary
passenger ships, the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), stands among Dubai's iconic
tourist attractions. This iconic ship, which left its mark on an era, welcomes
guests as a floating hotel, museum, and event center at Port Rashid (Mina
Rashid) after undergoing extensive restoration.
Launched in England in 1969, the QE2 hosted thousands
of voyages over nearly 40 years, from transatlantic crossings to world cruises,
before ending its active maritime life in 2008. Brought to Dubai, the ship was
renovated while preserving its original architecture and historical fabric,
opening its doors as a hotel in 2018.
Today, the QE2 Hotel offers a unique accommodation
experience that combines maritime history with modern comfort. The ship
features over 200 rooms and suites, ranging from classic cabins to royal
suites. Original ship details are preserved alongside an interior design that
reflects the elegance of the era, while guests are provided with contemporary
hotel standards.
One of the key sections of the QE2, the Heritage
Exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to get up close and personal with
the ship's glorious past. The exhibition area features photographs, objects,
and multimedia content from the QE2's golden age. In addition, the ship hosts
meeting rooms, event spaces, a spa, and sections dedicated to cultural and
artistic events.
Adding a different dimension to Dubai's tourism
vision, Queen Elizabeth 2 stands out as one of the rare projects that combines
luxury, history, and experience-oriented tourism. QE2 is not just a place to
stay for tourists visiting Dubai, but also a special destination that brings
together the past and the present.
